CUSPIIDOR.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STEVE Srno, a subject of the King of Hungary,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuspidors, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawing.

This invention relates to cuspidors, and the objects of my invention areto provide a cuspidor with positive and reliable means in a manner aswill be hereinafter set forth for preventing the contents thereof frombeing spilled when the cuspidor is accidentally upset or tilted, and toprovide a cuspidor that can be advantageously used in depots, hotels,theaters and public places where pedestrians are liable to accidentallyupset the cuspidors.-

Further objects of the invention are to provide a cuspidor that issanitary, easy to clean, simple in construction, inexpensive tomanufacture and durable.

I attain the above objects by a mechanical construction that will behereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and reference willnow be had to the drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a plan of a cuspidor,Fig. 2 is a vertical cross sectional view of the same, Fig. 3 is avertical transverse sectional view of the cuspidor.

A cuspidor in accordance with this invention comprises a doublefrusto-conical shaped receptacle 1 having a fiat bottom 2 provided witha central opening 3. Screwed or otherwise connected to the flat bottom2, as at 4 is a base plate 5, preferably rectangular in plan and ofsufficient size to prevent the receptacle 1 from being accidentallytilted or upset. The base plate 5 is provided with a centralconical-shaped de- Hector 6 adapted to extend into the receptacle 1 andclose the opening 3, said deflector providing an annular race 7 withinthe bottom of the receptacle 1 in which matter can accumulate. The upperend of the receptacle 1 is provided with a funnel-shaped mouth-piece 8and trunnioned at the juncture of said mouth-piece with said receptacleby a transverse pin 9 is a flap lid or Specification of Letters Patent.

valve 10 having a central transverse barrel 11 to receive the pin 9. Thelid 10 is circular in plan and adapted to close the opening 12, said lidhaving the under side thereof weighted by solder or other matter, as at13 to normally retain the lid 10 in aclosed position. The lid 10 isbalanced within the opening 12 whereby when matter is deposited uponsaid lid, the matter will be immediately precipitated into thereceptacle 1.

By removing the base plate 5 and the de- Hector 6, the entire interiorof the cuspidor can be flushed and all foreign matter removed, therebymaintaining the cuspidor in a sanitary condition.

The lid 10 prevents the contents of the cuspidor from being observed andto a great extent prevents odors and fumes arising from matter that bedeposited in the cuspidor.

The deflector 6 prevents matter from accumulating centrally of thecuspidor that might interfere with the movement of the flap lid 10 andparticularly after considerable matter has been placed in the cus pidor.

The cuspidor in its entirety is constructed of light and durable metaland can be finished asdesired.

What I claim is A cuspidor embodying a double frustoconical shapedreceptacle having a flat bottom provided with a central opening, a rectangular base plate detachably mounted in the flat bottom of saidcuspidor, a conicalshaped deflector carried by said base plate andextending upwardly through said opening into said receptacle, afunnel-shaped mouth-piece carried by the upper end of said receptacle, aflap lid trunnioned at the juncture of said mouth-piece with saidreceptacle and adapted to close the opening at the upper end of saidreceptacle, and a weight carried by the under side of said flap lid andadapted to normally retain said flap lid in a closed position.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
